The Silent Bill

No, I am not surprised as the coverage has been minimal. This bill should be the best opportunity to reform the UK’s FS Regulation in the last 20 years and yet the Treasury is doing everything in its power to make the minimum of change. Hence the study in silence.

The apathy among advisers regarding the new FS Bill is disgraceful. Plus, of course, the Treasury and the TSC Secretariat are making sure that no-one who may upset their apple cart can get in front of the TSC.
